1997 Hugo Nominations

Here are the nominees for the annual
Hugo Awards, which
this year will be presented at the 1997
World Science Fiction Convention at
LoneStarCon 2. The emphasis here is
on the short fiction of course, so I've listed those categories first. I've
also linked each of the stories to their comment/review locations on my site
so you can see what others are saying about the stories, or so you can make
comments yourself. I'll also include links to any author home pages or sites
that have the story online to read. If you know of any, or know of contacts
for voters to receive physical copies, let me know (at
jbailey@sff.net) and I'll include the
information.
